kara badass
Even though I should be writing my wonderful ;) paper on The Battle of the Bulge (no not Weight Watchers or South Beach or anything like that), I have decided to continue procrastinating just a little while longer.

Drumroll please....Today's hero is the Shermanator aka William Sherman....No, just kidding, before the Lemming has a heart attack. That is not something I would want to see happen especially because she can enlighten anyone who is further curious as to what the Battle of the Bulge is all about. Yes, even though I am in the middle of a paper about it, I could not tell you anything more then that the Allies won. I think the Lemming is probably hitting something right about now.

Actually, I am going to stay consistent and pick another Southern female. I have no idea why all of my heroes so far have been from the South or women, but a girl can never have too many female role models I guess.

Today's hero is...Dolly Parton

Frankly, I don't think that I could ever do her justice in my description, so I will let her own words do the talking...

"I'm not offended by dumb blonde jokes because I know that I'm not dumb. I also know I'm not blonde."

"I describe my look as a blend of mother goose, cinderella, and the local hooker!"

"It takes a lot of money to make a person look this cheap!"

"I like to buy clothes that are two sizes too small and then take them in a little."

"I have little feet because nothing grows in the shade."

"If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one."

"I had to get rich so I could afford to sing like I was poor again."

"There are plenty of charities for the homeless. Isn't it time somebody helped the homely?"

"I don't know if I'm supporting them, or they're supporting me." (On her ample bosom)

(on the topic of her bust size) People always ask me if they're mine. Yes, they are...all bought and paid for.

(alluding to her famous bust) If I build another park, it will probably be in Silicon Valley.

"I do have big tits. Always had 'em - pushed 'em up, whacked 'em around. Why not make fun of 'em? I've made a fortune with 'em." (Source: as quoted in the book "The Humour of Sex" by Robert Hale)

If you want to see the rainbow you gotta put up with the rain.

"There's a heart beneath the boobs and a brain beneath the wig."

"After Momma gave birth to twelve of us kids, we put her up on a pedestal. It was mostly to keep Daddy away from her."

And just one more thing...Reportedly has her breasts insured for $600,000.
Gotta love her, hehe.

Well, I appreciate your insight into my choice in heroes. I personally think Dolly is a wonderful role model for all women, and all people should strive to emulate Dolly's amazing generosity and should be so lucky to have her amazing creative talent. :)

On a serious note (for a change) Dolly is definitely worth admiring. Not withstanding all of the money she has reinvested in Appalachia, building it up and giving many, many people jobs and chances at a better life, she is also arguable one of the most prolific female singer/songwriters of this century. So I would contend that Dolly is definitely worthy of supreme admiration….and she’s a classy broad as well!
Two of my favorite quotes:

Man from audience: Dolly I love you!!
Dolly from stage: I love you too!! I thought I told you to wait in the car.

Reporter: Dolly will there be a Best Little Whorehouse in Texas II
Dolly: Well there will always be a whorehouse in Texas…I just won’t be in it…

LMAO…I heart Dolly!! <3 :o)

You're lucky I didn't send you the real one. I think you would probably cut me off as a friend for butchering history, haha.

I think I got quite enough from your thoughts this morning..and I quote from my little blonde friend... "Consequently, through a selection process largely determined by the number of targets, the Americans settled on the ball-bearing industry as the weak link in the German economic structure. Now isn't that interesting. It seems that everything goes back to balls."

I think I have my work cut out for me with you...first on the list though is trying to get you to understand the Sherman was BAAAAAD!!!!!!

Well I am sorry that I find humor in my history book, lol. And I don't know, when I see the word balls it just makes me laugh. I just hope my professor doesn't see this as an important fact to bring up because if he does I may fall out of my desk, and that would be quite embarrassing.

I saw pictures of Sherman. How could anyone that good-looking be bad? ;o)

I think that Sparkle (you know the hamster that is turning the wheels of your brain) has been soaking up too much crack. Please for his sake put the pipe down!

no, it's the acid in Sparkle's water bottle that's having this effect.

That very well could be. I have been drinking a lot of water here. Maybe it's acid-laced. I will have to look into that ;).
